I liked MM's Memorial Day Table table so much, it inspired me to do one.
The dark blue chargers are trays from Dollar Tree spray painted. The red chargers and glassware are from a variety store in my little town. The flowers are from the grocery store.
TFLookin and have a wonderful Holiday.

Oh, now that is a patriotic table! What I really love on this table are your S&P shakers!...such a simple addition to the lovely vase of flowers centerpc! The t'cloth makes a good backgrd to showcase the placesettings! Happy Memorial Day, nana! TFS! Jeanne S. |
Nana, I'm lovin' your Memorial Day tablescape. What a sweet job of layering your dishes. So crisp with your all your red, wht and blue on this one. I'm going to go get my red centennial s&p shakers out for my table after seeing yours. Hopefully I'll get some pictures taken this weekend and share. I don't have any blue but both sets of yours are neat and look great. Punk |
I have to agree with Jeanne & Punk..you did such a nice job on this table. I like how the colorful layering against the white Tablecloth makes everything 'pop'. I eyed those S&Ps too...They look vintage...are they colbalt? I like how you always add that special detail of fresh flowers for your tables Nana.....and, I'm liking your idea of painting those DT trays...very clever and sure saves $ to get a nice look. jane |
I loved this table too & was drooling over the cute blue shakers & then saw the red ones!! Also the red handled silverware. Perfect for such an important day!Jan |

Your table turned out great Nana, everything just pops on that pretty white tablecloth. Love the way you layered the plates, and that cute little bowl on top really caught my eye, so cute. Enjoy the holiday and thanks for sharing. Luvs |
Thank you everyone. Jeanne I decided use both sets of S@P' at the last minute. I'm glad I did. Punk I was surprised at how easily this this table came together. It seemed to have it's own idea about how it wanted to look. LOL Jane, The S@Ps aren't vintage. I like using fresh flowers when I can. The prices are reasonable at the grocery store. and they always have seasonal arrangements. I hope you are able to get out and about more now. Thank you sunnyca. I love when you pop in to comment. Thanks luvs, the little bowls came from CTS. How is your DH doing? Nana |
I'm lagging behind but Beautiful table Nana. I love the plate layering and the little shakers. I'm coveting your blue stemware as well. I've found several occasions I needed a set and haven't yet found one. Very well done and hope you had a nice relaxing holiday weekend :). |

I have to add a DITTO, the others covered it well. And you are good at the "Candy shots" ;o). Painting chargers is such a neat idea, especially since the dollar store prices can't be beat on them. The layering of the dishes, and of course the S&P's, are wonderful. hugs, Karen |

Fall in Love With Yourself
When you are alone and only thinking of yourself, it becomes clear what your goals in life are. It is acceptable to date while you are on this journey, but set priorities. You may have a rule that you won't get married until you graduate college. Having a clear vision will help attract a mate that can help rather than hinder your plans. When you are tempted to date someone that doesn't fit your list, throw yourself into your work and studies. Keep in mind you are working and studying hard so that you and your future family will live a better life. Set your own rules, be clear of what they are, and (of course) STICK TO THEM!
Love yourself for you…and your future spouse
The number one reason you are going to fall in love with yourself is to be a better, happier you. The second reason is because when you truly love yourself you are going to attract a mate who truly loves themselves as well. You love your future partner so much that you only want the best for them. You want to be able to love them and give them the world, and you will never be able to do that until you are in love with yourself!

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Benji!
Facts about Benji
- Breed: Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) Mix
- Color: White - With Gray Or Silver
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Benji's Info...
For more information on this dog or to request an application, please email email@example.com.
Little Benji is a terrier mix who came to us after he was found abandoned. We are still learning about him but so far he is friendly, outgoing and is getting along with the other small dogs in his foster home. For more information or to submit an application, please email email@example.com. Rescue a forever friend!
About our adoption process: The first step in initiating an adoption or adoption inquiry is the adoption application which you can obtain by contacting the pet's foster listed above. There is no commitment by submitting the application - it just helps us determine if the pet you are interested in will be a good match for you. Next is a meet and greet at one of our adoption events - typically held on Saturdays. Not every pet is at every event so please contact us first to find out when and where you can meet the pet you are interested in. If there are other dogs in your household, we suggest bringing them to ensure everyone gets along. The standard adoption fee for dogs and puppies is $140 (cash or check) which includes spay/neuter, current vaccinations, microchip and collar/tags.
Other Pets at Benji's Buddies Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Benji, a Chandler Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) for sale in Chandler, or seeking a Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) dog from a breeder in Chandler.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Chandler already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Chandler breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) breeders who help with Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Chandler paves the way for another one to be saved.

"My family loved these potatoes. Very easy to make although I could not find the raciette cheese or the comte cheese so just used a packaged blend of shredded Italian cheeses.
For some reason I used cinnamon instead of the nutmeg but it was still yummy. Only a spoonful of leftovers. """

Operation Flashpoint: Red River Review
An FPS that goes off without a bang.
I've only recently begun to really enjoy FPS games, and given there are so many games in the genre, my experiences range from utterly brilliant to downright depressing. So of course I jumped at the opportunity to try out Operation Flashpoint: Red River from Codemasters, an FPS game that doesn't try too hard to mess with the much-loved FPS formula. Sadly because of this, there's not much here to differentiate it from other games in its genres, and a few cumbersome flaws make this a somewhat frustrating game to play through.
Red River tries to throw something new into the mix by basing the action in Tajikistan, where rebel forces are getting into all kinds of mischief at the border with China. Naturally, the U.S sends its troops over to investigate, and you're part of a squad that needs to make it through the missions alive. After your initial deployment, you're quickly introduced to the basic controls and taken to a makeshift training ground to practice firearms and other commands, following which you are sent out on your first mission. Rather than plod around on foot, you're given the luxury of jumping into the back of a jeep and being driven to your next mission.
This driving around poses two problems – firstly, it's incredibly boring. You sit in the back seat and stare at your squad members as you drive past burning buildings and helicopters flying overhead. I understand that this was meant to reflect upon real-life scenarios of marines moving from one point to another, but it gets tired fast. Secondly, it means that you have to spend time with your team leader Knox, who is by far the most abusive character I've ever seen in the game. Every word and command he utters has an expletive attached to it, and it becomes really irritating to have to put up with his never-ending rambles. Maybe the shock of war finally fried his brains, but he makes the jeep rides even more unbearable. Knox does serve his purpose by radioing in your missions and some tips during battle, but other than that he is just dead weight. Sorry, talking dead weight.
That being said, the game does focus heavily on team-based commands and cooperation – this isn't a game where you can be the lone gunman out to save the day. Your AI opponents are fairly intelligent, and can pop up from behind a building and shoot the living lights out of you if you're not careful. And when you get shot, you don't automatically regenerate health if you hide behind cover. You have to hide and patch up your wounds, or you'll bleed too much and pass out in battle until someone can revive you. It's yet another play on trying to keep the game more realistic as compared to other FPS games. You're also required to constantly give your squad orders, which is both a blessing and a curse. It's great for when you want to team members to flank an enemy position or take out a particular target, but once they've completed an order or taken out a target, they just amble around waiting for you to tell them what to do. It's irritating when you're halfway to an enemy position and realize that your squad is no where in sight simply because you didn't issue the 'Follow Me' order. Having said that, ordering your squad around is just a matter of bringing up a radial menu and choosing one of the many orders mapped to the D-pad. It's a fairly straightforward process, which is a welcome change compared to other squad-based games out there. While the game does tend to stretch your tolerance levels if playing alone, it becomes a much more enjoyable experience when you add more players into the mix as your squad members, simply because you can rely on a more capable human intelligence to keep watch on things. If the main campaign doesn't test your mettle, there are side missions clubbed together in the Fireteam mode, which is a buoyant mix of escort missions, seek and destroy, and rescue episodes. It's a welcome change from the main plot, and there's a fair bit of tactical fun that can be had.
Visually the game almost seems to wrestle with itself. The muted terrain and orange clouds seem eerily barren at first, until a pixellated helicopter goes flying overhead. Character models for most part animate well, but I was a bit confused what at times the enemy gunfire was represented with green lasers flying overhead. There's plenty of explosions and accompanying sound effects, not to mention Knox's constant swearing.
Operation Flashpoint: Red River is sadly another FPS game that is clambering for some attention. Those who've played previous editions might pick this up out of curiosity, but honestly there's not much here that would set it apart from others in its genre.
The Scorecard | |||||||
While the missions provide plenty of action, they're watered down by the excessively long jeep rides. |
Decent enough visuals that are sometimes marred by rather bleak looking textures. | ||||
Will someone please shut Knox up? |
Replay value only exists if you're able to rope in more players. | ||||
the Fireteam missions provide some much needed distraction from the main storyline |
There are certainly better FPS games out there, but worth a try just to satiate your curiosity. |

Paper lanterns bounce light off pristine bamboo floors at Surya Yoga studio, where the walls are covered in yoga inspired murals. The 2,500-square-foot space includes two spacious practice rooms, plus a lounge with a couch, candles, and rugs that create a homey vibe. But while it might be tempting to Zen out on the cushions, yoga classes await: from a four-week Introduction to Yoga course to SUP Yoga (stand-up paddleboarding), vinyasa flow, kids' yoga, and more. The studio also hosts events and special workshops with visiting instructors, giving students more ways to grow in their practice.
Native Yoga Center's founders, Todd and Tamara McLaughlin, have shown young yogis how to reap the benefits of bending and balancing in four countries: the United States, Australia, Thailand, and India. Their diverse international experiences inform each of the studio's challenging classes, which are scheduled every day of the week, except for days of the new moon or full moon or when the moon has to stay home and wait for the Internet guy. Stretchers of any skill level can attend 60-minute Vinyasa sessions, which highlight gentle movements, meditative breathing, and proper alignment, or 90-minute Ashtanga classes, which aim to increase muscular strength and balance. Native yoga classes take place in a warmed room to promote greater focus, encourage detoxification through sweating, and help students locate the frozen-fish-stick burglar based on escalating aromatics.
As its name suggests, Barefoot Yoga Studio takes a laid-back approach to yoga, a traditionally laid-back mode of physical expression. Even students without extra funds are welcome to attend classes, and are asked to just place whatever they can in the donation box. The studio wants to ensure that no one misses out on a Hatha or flow class at the studio, or a beach yoga session on the shoreline.
On the "Our Story" page of Twin Power Yoga's website, owners Ann and Ali express their belief that "by sharing yoga, we share ourselves." They know something about sharing—they're twins, after all, which they believe connects them spiritually as much as it does physically. At their West Palm Beach location, these siblings and their fellow instructors help participants of all experience levels explore their own physical and spiritual relationships to the world around them through Twin Power's style of power yoga. In heated studios with colorful walls and hardwood floors, instructors lead postural sequences that build both strength and cardio conditioning. Between flows, they emphasize meditation, helping practitioners let go of the competitive demands of daily life and pet beagles they already regret teaching to talk. This alternation between highly physical postures and awareness of breath encourages students to listen to their bodies. Classes always end in meditation, giving participants time to sit with whatever feelings their practice awakened.
Bindu guides yogis of all levels through daily classes that strengthen and restore bodies and calm bustling brains. Bindu specializes in Vinyasa yoga, a practice that streams muscle and breath movement into one continuous flow. During Divine Play Vinyasa sessions, disciplined contractions, extensions, and alignments awaken life-force energy and the ability to channel soft-serve through ordinary drinking fountains. Vinyasa concludes in the relaxation pose shavasana, known less poetically as corpse pose, wherein yogis simulate the proud posture of dead presidents. Bindu's eight yoga masters also lead therapeutic Viniyoga and athletic Ashtanga classes that align and restore wayward muscles to their rightful places. Sessions range from 60–90 minutes.
After teaching foreign languages and working as a sales rep, Alice Abrams realized that the biggest constant in her life—exercise—should be her next career move. Her 16 years of Pilates training prompted her to open Pilates of Boynton Beach, where she mans classes alongside her daughter, Elyssa Zion, and a squad of certified instructors. The curriculum shapes lean bodies with a variety of stretching and dance techniques. Mat and equipment Pilates work alongside Xtend Barre lessons to stretch muscles while improving posture, and Zumba classes incorporate festive music to fuel cardio choreography. All sessions, whether group or private, are meant to accommodate students of any skill level so long as they bring a permission slip signed by each vertebra.

AP News
Unilever selling frozen foods unit to ConAgra
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Unilever is selling its North American frozen meals business which includes licensing rights to the Bertolli and P.F. Chang's brands to ConAgra Foods Inc. for $265 million, the companies announced Monday.
Unilever said it is making the move as part of its broader plan to exit the frozen foods business. ConAgra has been trying to expand its core business through a string of recent acquisitions.
The Bertolli and P.F. Chang's frozen meal brands generated about $300 million in sales in 2011, Unilever said. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2012.
The agreement does not include a production facility in Owensboro, Ky., where they products are currently made. Unilever will retain the Bertolli trademark and continue its existing pasta sauce business, with manufacturing operations remaining at its Kentucky site.
The deal is expected to close in the third quarter.
Unilever, based in the Netherlands, is a massive consumer products company with products ranging from Degree deodorant to Ragu pasta sauce.
ConAgra, based in Omaha, Neb., owns food brands ranging Chef Boyardee to Slim Jim. This will be the company's fifth acquisition in the last 12 months, following the purchase of National Pretzel Company, Del Monte Canada, Odom's Tennessee Pride and the pita chip business of Kangaroo Brands.
Unilever's U.S. shares rose 20 cents to $34.76 in afternoon trading while ConAgra's share price increased 48 cents, or 2 percent, to $24.78.

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. With an exquisitely beautiful opening full of visual and emotional subtleties, the author has seemingly effortlessly re-introduced the readers to Thomas Cromwell and his values, and re-established the continuation of the events started in Wolf Hall. Seemingly effortless is a key phrase in describing this novel. It does not shine a spotlight on how clever it is; you make the inferences and connections yourself but undoubtedly they are the ones the author wanted you to make in the first place. More frequently than not, it is occupied with short, simple sentences - subject verb object with one or two quantifiers. It manages to feel modern but still accurate to its time period yet not put-upon as historical fiction adaptations may feel - similar to how it is a shock to see historic black-and-white photos colourised. Then you think, of course the world had colour back then and history does not feel so removed from now. I particularly enjoyed when the novel does not attempt to be absolute in the events, leaving ambiguous the parts where history is incomplete and not assuming that the characters/peoples in the events are omniscient - or at least know more than we do - just because they lived through it. It feels true-to-life that accusations and gossips sometimes remain just so, unconfirmed. The novel is a careful character study of human nature - albeit heightened as interactions tends to be in small clusters as politically cut-throat as one depicted here. The Cromwell we meet again here has remained much the same practical realist as we have known. He has also grown as we might expect, sharpened in his many trades and understandably also wary, more experienced in potential failures. He has softened in his age, reminiscing and questioning his younger self's behaviour - his view of Walter warms in this book, just as one might understand one's parents' reasoning as one ages. A technical aside: I was disappointed to see specifications of he, Cromwell in the speech specifiers but can understand why the author chose to do so especially after the complaints regarding the ambiguity. We were also given understanding to the conflicting motivations of other characters, for example, Henry, and how all these motivations can clash and drive the story. It reminds me of when a few years back, there was yet another adaptation of Henry VIII and there was some article which said something along the lines of, we've had adjective Henry, adjective Henry, but never an angry Henry until now, or something to that effect. Here, the portrayal of the king is more than one-adjective, it is a lot of adjectives - some of them contradictory like real-life - , we see his motivations, his failings and his successes (and also thriftiness in recycling gifts! Perhaps the quickest way to humanise a king.). The only character who remains an enigma, just like she is to the king, Cromwell, her whole family, is Jane Seymour. How awesome is she in the novel, by the way, with her sudden sparks of witty conversation/misconstruing? I like to imagine she is the most calculating of them all, that Cromwell may be able to see through Anne Boleyn's machinations because of their similar ambitions and skills, but Jane manages to be subtler and more devious, like how the best criminal is one who is never caught. Far from being completely serious in its treatment of history, the novel is peppered with silly humour, my favourite being Cromwell's kingly thoughts of defenestration and Stephen Gardiner unaware but questioning, why're you looking out the window, and various other Cromwell and Jane's quick wits. In the genre of historical fiction, it is difficult to credit the author with the plotting. However, the simplicity of the writing, the background motivations and imagined interactions of characters conjures up a satisfyingly realistic version of what could have really happened. This is the second in a series of book about Thomas Cromwell, a mover and shaker in Henry VIII's court, although not a nobleman. Powerful, and increasingly rich, but not yet a 'sir'. Anyone with any sense calls him sir unless they are filthy rich and with Lordships or better going back generations. This episode is all about Anne Boleyn, Henry's second wife. You remember: divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. Just remember the order the women came in! I found the book hard to get into, then I realised that I needed to settle down in proper reading mode – comfy chair, good light, give myself an hour or two to immerse myself. It was good for me to read like that – I don't often do it. I had been a little put off by the family tree charts at the front, looking at them and thinking, "I'll never remember all these people." Although the charts can be handy, I found I didn't need them. The flow of the writing, the reminders of positions and relations, are all included in the flow of beautiful words. Beautiful words. I found myself transported into 1535 as if it was a modern world. As in, everywhere about me was contemporary Tudor England. Many historical novels still leave you as an onlooker; this had me in there, smelling the ordure of the streets, wondering what the news would be next day. In some ways, reading A Christmas Carol a month ago, and marvelling at the description I quoted in my review of that, prepared me for Hilary Mantel's wonderful descriptions. I know I should have marked them at the time, but I search the book for some examples: I can't find any more ordinary ones, or should I say extraordinary ways of describing the ordinary. These two stand out. Death and Truth (which I was so struck by that I remembered it all the way through). "You should not desire, he knows, the death of any human creature. Death is your prince, you are not his patron; when you think he is engaged elsewhere, he will batter down your door, walk in and wipe his boots on you." (p.162) "What is the nature of the border between truth and lies? It is permeable and blurred because it is planted thick with rumour, confabulation, misunderstandings and twisted tales. Truth can break the gates down, truth can howl in the street; unless truth is pleasing, personable and easy to like, she is condemned to stay whimpering at the back door." (p.190) I found the application of such truth in Thomas Cromwell's tale an overwhelming insight into the justice of the time, of the tale. Much later Thomas asks himself (or the reader) "Were they guilty? Yes, but maybe not as charged." The manipulation, the half-truths, the finding of evidence to support the required result are as relevant today as they ever were. So I found myself immersed in this story. There is a stylistic element of the book one needs to grasp early, and it continued to elude me for a long time. 'He' is Cromwell. You may be in a paragraph with Cromwell and five others, but if 'he' does something, then it is Cromwell who is being referred to. The book has a single focus. It's third person narrative but entirely from Cromwell's point of view. Once I'd got used to this I found the author writing 'He, Cromwell' more often than I needed. There is no way I can do justice to this book in a review. I'm so glad my bookclub chose it, since I wouldn't have tackled it otherwise, and I nearly gave up on it after 50 pages. After 75 I was hooked, but realised I needed to wrap myself up in it, partly so as not to forget who's who. I have trouble with that these days. Reading it finally over three days, I had no trouble knowing who was who, even when a single person has three different names (surname, title name and ceremonial post). I recommend it. I will read more Hilary Mantel. I found Wolf Hall hard work, so I wasn't in any hurry to read this sequel to it, but unless I'm misremembering, I found this one more engaging. Perhaps because it's somewhat shorter, and also because it's focused on a much tighter period of time, just a year or so. Second book in the Wolf Hall trilogy After seven years of tribulation, Anne Boleyn finally triumphed and became the queen of England, but after two years on the throne she is once again in jeopardy. King Henry VIII's attention has strayed to Jane Seymour, a quiet and demure woman who is fiery Anne's opposite in nearly every way. Thomas Cromwell was once Anne's greatest ally, and together they labored to gain her a crown. Now, Cromwell faces the greatest challenge of his career: removing Anne from power without being destroyed himself. Thomas Cromwell is almost always portrayed as a very ambitious man willing to anything to win, and while streaks of this still appear in his personality it's considerably downplayed in Hilary Mantel's novels. For example, his practice of torturing men to extract confessions is dismissed as rumor – the most Mantel's Cromwell does is frighten a young musician half to death by locking him in a room overnight, not stretching him on the rack or gouging out an eye. As much as I like this new version of Cromwell, part of me wonders if he isn't perhaps a little too cleaned up, too whitewashed of sins. If anyone comes across as monstrous, it is the king. Cromwell has figured out that the way to survive at Henry's court is to give the king what he wants, so when Henry hints that he wants to be rid of Anne Boleyn, all of Cromwell's efforts go to figuring out a way to have her removed. All of his lawyer's skill for finding loopholes is turned to this problem. Other characters point out that just as Henry turned against Anne, he may one day turn his back on Cromwell, but Cromwell's confidence seems to rise with every page. As long as he continues to anticipate Henry VIII's desires, which he is certain he can do indefinitely, he is safe. Hilary Mantel's style of writing is very immediate. While reading, you are entirely in Cromwell's head. It is almost as if the whole book is a dream in which the reader lives Cromwell's life – it's that absorbing and encompassing. As a sequel to Wolf Hall, Bring Up the Bodies is outstanding. It would also standalone remarkably well. That is, you don't need to have read the first book in order to follow the second one's plot. But you should. Wolf Hall takes you deeply into Cromwell's world and greatly enhances the new story, making it nearly impossible to put down. Bringing Up the Bodies is the second of Hilary Mantel's Thomas Cromwell trilogy. Wolf Hall was the story of Anne Boleyn's rise to power as she replaced King Henry VIII's first wife, Catherine of Aragon. But Anne failed to provide Henry with a male heir and lost the king's favor. This novel is the story of how Anne is replace by Jane Seymour. I listened to the audio version, read by Simon Vance. This had advantages and disadvantages. Because of Hilary Mantel's unusual writing style, I found it difficult at times to know who was speaking. Vance helped me there, by providing different voices to different characters. But audio books keep moving forward, especially if you are listening while driving, and I think I might have gotten more out of the early sections of the book if I had taken additional time with them. But after the accusations and the trial began, the book held my attention without fail. This is Anne's story, written from Thomas Cromwell's point of view. Cromwell is the king's master secretary, which means he's a bit like the consigliere in The Godfather. He's told what to do and he does it no matter what it takes. For example, he has to interrogate Henry Percy, the Earl of Northumberland, who had an early relationship with Anne. He forces him to adjust his story depending on the king's need to have it known that Anne was either not married previously or married previously. The issue of Anne's guilt or innocence is interesting. Is she guilty of adultery or just an inability to give the king a living, male heir? And if she was guilty of adultery was she forced into the situation because she didn't believe she would give birth to a boy unless someone other than the king shared her bed? A good example of the case against Anne occurs in the following excerpt. This is Henry speaking: Cromwell, what does it mean when a woman turns herself about and about in the bed, offering herself this way and that? What would put it into her head to do such a thing? There is only one answer, "Experience, Sir, of mens' desires and her own." He does not need to say it. Another aspect of this story I found interesting was that Thomas Cromwell seemed to be entirely consumed with the task of dissolving one of King Henry VIII's marriages and arranging another. I wondered who was working on the rest of the government's business. In many ways his priorities remind me of the priorities of our current congress. I wonder where Cromwell would be if he was alive today. Bringing Up the Bodies is a good read for people with an interest in English history. The scenes feel authentic. The writing is beautiful, although a little hard to follow at times. Steve Lindahl – author of Motherless Soul and White Horse Regressions
Here, as elsewhere, Mantel's real triumph is her narrative language. It's not the musty Olde English of so much historical fiction, but neither is it quite contemporary. The Latinate "exsanguinates" is a perfect 16th-century touch, and so is that final, Anglo-Saxon "gore." In some of her books, Mantel is pretty scabrous in her descriptions of present-day England, its tawdriness and cheesiness and weakness for cliché and prettifying euphemism. "Bring Up the Bodies" (the title refers to the four men executed for supposedly sleeping with Anne) isn't nostalgic, exactly, but it's astringent and purifying, stripping away the cobwebs and varnish of history, the antique formulations and brocaded sentimentality of costume-drama novels, so that the English past comes to seem like something vivid, strange and brand new. Is Bring Up the Bodies better than, worse than or equal to Wolf Hall? While lacking, necessarily, the shocking freshness of the first book, it is narrower, tighter, at times a more brilliant and terrifying novel. Of her historical interpretations, Mantel says in her afterword that she is "making the reader a proposal, an offer", but what is striking is how little concerned she is with the reader. Her prose makes no concessions to the disorientated: a moment's distraction and you have to start the page again. Mantel, like Cromwell, seems not to mind if we are there or not: she is writing, as he was living, for herself alone. "Mantel knows what to select, how to make her scenes vivid, how to kindle her characters." We read historical fiction for the same reason we keep watching Hamlet: it's not what, it's how. And although we know the plot, the characters themselves do not. Mantel leaves Cromwell at a moment that would appear secure: four of his ill-wishing enemies, in addition to Anne, have just been beheaded, and many more have been neutralised. England will have peace, though it's "the peace of the hen coop when the fox has run home". But really Cromwell is balancing on a tightrope, with his enemies gathering and muttering offstage. The book ends as it begins, with an image of blood-soaked feathers. But its end is not an end. "There are no endings," says Mantel. "If you think so you are deceived as to their nature. They are all beginnings. This is one." Which will lead us to the final instalment, and to the next batch of Henry's wives and Cromwell's machinations. How much intricate spadework will it take to "dig out" Cromwell, that "sleek, plump, and densely inaccessible" enigma? Reader, wait and see. Two years ago something astonishingly fair happened in the world of prestigious prizes: the Man Booker Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction for 2009 both went to the right winner. The book was Hilary Mantel's "Wolf Hall," and it would have dwarfed the competition any year. "Wolf Hall" was a historical novel that ingeniously revisited well-trod territory (the early marriages of Henry VIII), turned the phlegmatic villain Thomas Cromwell into the best-drawn figure and easily mixed 16th-century ambience with timeless bitchery. Despite a hugely complicated cast of characters and Ms. Mantel's teasing way of preferring pronouns to proper names, it wound up providing an experience of sheer bliss. It was a hard act to follow. But the follow-up is equally sublime. Is contained in

Why Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe won't pardon the West Memphis Three
Supporters of the West Memphis Three are pushing for full exoneration now that the trio is free. But Gov. Mike Beebe, for one, will not consider pardoning them until they finish their 10-year suspended sentences or new evidence comes to light.
Danny Johnston/AP
Little Rock, Ark.
Now that the West Memphis Three are free after 18 years in prison, supporters who insist they are innocent are pushing for the trio's complete exoneration.
Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley Jr. were released last week at a surprise hearing in Jonesboro, Ark., after important questions emerged about crime scene evidence and juror misconduct in their murder trial. The trio agreed to a legal maneuver that allowed them to maintain their innocence while acknowledging that prosecutors had enough evidence against them to find guilt.
In 1994, the three, then teenagers, were convicted of killing three 8-year-old Cub Scouts in West Memphis, Ark. Mr. Echols was sentenced to death row, while Messrs. Baldwin and Misskelley received life sentences without parole.
But the movement that helped to free the West Memphis Three is now demanding that Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe (D) pardon them.

What Your Pet Names Say About You
Fortunately, by the time these initial language problems become good and boring, a solution stands ready: the couple can choose to become "fiancé" and "fiancée." Or, to be quaint, "betrothed." With only a little paperwork and clergy or a justice of the peace, they can start referring to each other as "husband," "wife," and "married." And then they can tackle the problem of what to call each other privately.
Most longtime couples have private names for each other. Sometimes these names slip out in the presence of others, in times of stress, exhilaration, or PR spin, or after everybody's had a few drinks. My friends Anita and Jim call each other Frank. George W. and Laura, as their daughters announced to the world during the Republican National Convention, call each other Bushie. A dog-loving couple who will be nameless here because I need to remain on speaking terms with them call each other Wooda (that's a phonetic rendering) and Wooba, short for "Wonder Dog" and "Wonder Bitch." My friend Robin calls her husband, whose name is Richard, Lord Voldemort, a.k.a. "He Who Must Not Be Named." That's when she's not calling him Wally (this is a good story, but a long one).
And my husband and me? Since you asked, we call each other "my pet" or Pet. "Pet, would you turn the music down?" "Yes, Pet." As a, um, pet name, it's minimalist (our aesthetic), it's egalitarian, and it's entertaining--to us, at any rate. Partly for fun and partly to keep straight which of us we're talking about, we have variant names as well. For instance, if we are visiting California or drinking Sonoma Valley wine, Julian (that's his real name) is Petaluma.
We have many variants, and the list of them keeps growing, but you get the idea.

I was a keen SWL between the ages of 12 and 15. After a break of 40 years, I returned to amateur radio in 2007. I took the foundation and intermediate courses at Denby Dale Radio Club, which meets at the Pie Hall, and received my advanced licence in 2008. CW is my first love and principal mode. My workhorse for the past six years has been an Elecraft K3. Other rigs include a Ten-Tec Corsair II and a Tec-Tec Century 22, whose lively performance belies its years. Also present is the QRP Ten-Tec R4030 which is small enough to fit into a coat pocket. A more recent acquisition is a Ten-Tec Delta 580, which, like many of its cousins, offers smooth, near-silent QSK. I've built a number of QRP rigs, including the Rockmite with its punchy 500mW, and I enjoy working portable on the moors. Sailing is another interest and you may hear me from time to time operating /mm. My single paddle was handcrafted by Larry, N0SA. It has magnetic contacts and the engineering is superb. For portable use, the German-made Palm Radio Mini-Paddle comes in handy. My career has been in newspaper journalism but my early training was in classical music.

The Donkey Kong Country series has been a platforming staple since its beginnings on the SNES, and it didn't get that way by just asking players to complete some thorny obstacle courses. It's also packed with tons of collectibles across its many stages. If you've read our Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze review, you know the latest entry is no exception.
There are four KONG letters to find across each level in Tropical Freeze, but the trick is that you have to get them during one run - they reset each time you load the level. Several puzzle pieces can also be found in each level. These collectibles will unlock bonus levels and game art, respectively. Follow along to find them all!

STATESVILLE Two undocumented immigrants living in Statesville received a birth certificate for their newborn daughter on Monday, nearly two weeks after the couple was denied one for what the office called a lack of valid documentation.
Rolando Acosta and Virginia Lopez Garcia were originally denied a birth certificate by Iredell County Register of Deeds Matt McCall, a decision that prompted a protest outside his office earlier Monday by 20 members of El Cambio, a Mocksville-based immigrant rights organization.
Undocumented! Unafraid! the protesters chanted in Spanish and then English. They sang the civil rights era anthem, We Shall Overcome, and held placards saying, Fire Matt McCall.
McCall faces Republican Kimberly Harrell in a primary contest May 6. Crystal Mayes has filed as a candidate for Register of Deeds as a Democrat.
The protesters were joined by Iredell County commissioner Renee Griffith, a candidate for county clerk of court. While she strongly opposes illegal immigration, she said, the couples baby was born in Iredell County and is as much a U.S. citizen as Mr. McCalls newly born son.
McCall issued the birth certificate after the couple, carrying newborn Sharon Esther Acosta Lopez, walked from the rally and into McCalls office with a document from Iredell Memorial Hospital certifying the birth.
Thank you to God, Acosta said later through a translator. He also thanked Pastor Sifredo Rivera, the Statesville minister who helped the couple.
McCall said the couple hadnt presented the hospital certificate the first time they applied. But Rivera told the Observer that the couple, who he said are undocumented, had shown the hospital certificate to McCall the first time. He said McCall told them he was denying them the birth certificate because they have no legal status in the United States. Rivera said he also was present the first time the couple went to McCalls office.
McCall said he never made that statement. We have issued birth certificates to foreign citizens with valid documents, McCall said. We issue thousands of birth certificates, if they have valid documents.
Acosta, who said he is a factory worker who has lived in Statesville for at least 10 years, said hed presented a Mexican Consulate card and a nonvalidated passport the first time he and his wife applied.
Neither is a legally valid form of identification, McCall said.
After issuing the couple the birth certificate, McCall denied certificates for two other women, who are members of Riveras church, who had only those forms of identification. McCall urged them to return with their childrens hospital certificates.
McCall showed news reporters on Monday a copy of the state statute showing which forms of identification he can legally accept. A Register of Deeds official in neighboring Catawba County said her office has the same photo ID requirements.
Were just trying to make sure were in compliance with state statutes and protecting against identity theft, McCall said.

COLUMBUS — St. Marys Memorial senior Kelly Heitkamp made this year's journey to state in the pole vault a business trip. Heitkamp closed the deal with a finish five places better and a foot higher than last year's trip.
Heitkamp cleared 10 feet, six inches and wrapped up her record-setting senior season with a seventh-place finish in the Division II girls pole vault on Saturday morning at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium in Columbus.
COLUMBUS — Minster junior relay runner Paul Dues stood just outside the wrought-iron gate at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium when a fan wearing a shirt from another part of the Ohio slapped the junior on the back, congratulated him and told Dues he had run the 1600 meter relay race for Minster years ago.

I have made small covers from voile fabric that slide over my ss hose braids. I tie a knot on one end and secure the other end with a zip tie. Using this method on my last 20+ brews I have yet to have a stuck/slow sparge. The voile material is the same cloth used for BIAB style bags or hop sacks. You may want to try this option if you don't have the money funds for a false bttom right now. You can buy the fabic in the curtain section of Walmart for $5. Cut the loop off of the part the curtain rod slides through and you will have nice sock to slide over you ss braid. You can get several of these from just one section of the curtain loop and reuse them.

When I cleaned out my mash tun I noticed the mesh tube was stretched out, making it very very tight (ie Chinese finger trap), towards the front, near the spout. I'm thinking this is what caused the "clog". How can I prevent this?
